I was diagnosed with alpha-gal about 3 month ago, and my allergist tested a bunch of my existing allergies to see how it affected me. Apparently this has reversed my dairy allergy I have had since BIRTH. Bodies are weird, but I guess thank you Random Tick for giving me cheese back?!

A flirty Meta AI bot invited a retiree to meet. He never made it home.
Impaired by a stroke, a man fell for a Meta chatbot originally created with Kendall Jenner. His death spotlights Meta’s AI rules, which let bots tell falsehoods.

Curl: We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help | Discussion

#hackerone #curl | Daniel Stenberg | 184 comments
That's it. I've had it. I'm putting my foot down on this craziness. 1. Every reporter submitting security reports on #Hackerone for #curl now needs to answer this question: "Did you use an AI to find the problem or generate this submission?" (and if they do select it, they can expect a stream of proof of actual intelligence follow-up questions) 2. We now ban every reporter INSTANTLY who submits reports we deem AI slop. A threshold has been reached. We are effectively being DDoSed. If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time. We still have not seen a single valid security report done with AI help. | 184 comments on LinkedIn

This is one reason why poor developer supply chain security is one of my biggest pet peeves. TLDR: AI makes up package names, hackers take advantage of that and create malicious packages with those hallucinated names. You download, get pwned. www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/04/...

I don't remember any jumpy puzzles in it and as someone who gets motion sickness from games sometimes I have had zero issues with it. And its fun :) Baldurs Gate 3 can do multiplayer as well though I would recommend getting the no party limit mod so you can bring the NPCs along too.

Right… the issue isn’t the plugins it’s that the directory is trusted and loads everything within it and doesn’t include those files in the plugin listing so it’s the perfect place to stash malware
